After Israel cut off any aid to the Gaza Strip, panic buying ensued, casting uncertainty on the longevity of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the U.S.-designated terror group. A permanent end to the war is what Hamas wants to talk, while Israel wants to prolong the existing ceasefire for another seven weeks.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have returned to northern Gaza as the first phase of an Israeli-Hamas truce has taken effect. But many find their homes completely destroyed.
Hamas militants have released five Thai farm workers after holding them captive for more than 15 months in Gaza, as part of a recently struck ceasefire and prisoner deal with the Israeli government.
A multi-phase ceasefire between Israel and Hamas will result in the release of some hostages that the militant group has been holding for more than a year. The agreement was hailed by President Joe Biden, who urged his successor, Donald Trump, to put it into effect.
According to a new analysis, Israel’s assault against Hamas militants in Gaza has claimed much more lives than the official figure.
Many Israelis will remember 2024 as the year that over 100 Israeli hostages were held captive following their abduction by Hamas last year.Some anaylists say Israelis remain trapped in the horror of October 7 until the hostages are free.
The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, would be effectively barred from operating in Gaza Strip by new Israeli laws, according to charity workers and families in Gaza. This could have a catastrophic impact for the 2 million people currently facing a year of violence and looming famine.
While mourning for the deaths of families in Gaza, many in rebel-held Syria celebrated at the killings of Hezbollah leaders in Lebanon last month. The Middle East war is becoming more complex, with loyalties divided even among individuals.
With Israel continues targeting Hezbollah,Israeli prime minister is urging UN peacekeeping soldiers to evacuate war-torn parts of Lebanon. After hearing that five U.N. peacekeepers had been injured in recent Israeli strikes, he made his comments.
Israel’s last year of war has had an impact on everyone.In the wake of the October 7 Hamas attack, many people lost loved ones, while others had their homes and towns destroyed.
